HR624:

People continue to rave about our Mackie HR824 Studio Monitors. But all studios are not created equal, and many of our customers wanted something smaller for desktop production. That's why we designed the HR624—a compact version of our world-renowned HR824. Just like its big brother, the Mackie HR624 is a THX-approved, two-way Active reference monitor that provides the same legendary accuracy of Mackie's HR824 in a more compact, affordable package.

The Mackie HR624 is the ideal choice for professional, home and project studios seeking a very accurate, small footprint monitor. With extremely even dispersion for a wide "sweet spot" and user-adjustable controls for a variety of acoustic spaces, the HR624 is found in hundreds of professional studios and in the home studios of top recording artists (see list at left). Its high output, wide frequency response and small size also make it ideally suited for rear surround channels in home theater installations.

SOUND QUALITY
As its numerous awards and glowing reviews will attest, the Mackie HR624 is a truly excellent-sounding studio monitor. Like its "big brother" the HR824, the HR624 delivers detailed, non-fatiguing highs and room shakingly rich bass content, without the exaggerations so common to other studio monitors its size. Frequency response is an incredible ±1.5 dB from 51Hz to 20kHz—an impressive feat for such a small enclosure. And if you require even more bass, the HR624 is designed to work in perfect harmony with the Mackie HRS120 Active Subwoofer system.

MACKIE ACTIVE DESIGN
The 100- and 40-watt FR (Fast Recovery) Series amplifiers inside the HR624 are clean, ultra-reliable and, most importantly, specifically designed for their drivers. These custom-designed, high-precision amps can extract every precious drop of sound from the HR624's transducers, without pushing them over the edge. Specifically, a pair of HR624s can put out a whopping SPL of 115dB@1 meter. Add to this our phase- and time-correction electronics, and you've got one superb Active monitor. Read more.

WAVEGUIDE-LOADED TWEETER
That unusual looking tweeter is actually our waveguide-mounted 1" aluminum dome HF transducer. (Try to say that five times fast.) The logarithmic waveguide works with the tweeter to ensure accurate, even dispersion of the high-frequency content, creating a much wider "sweet spot" than most studio monitors. And Mackie HR624s are so smooth, they won't wear you out, even after hours of tracking and mixing.

HR626:

With more and more recording studios mixing to 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound, the need arose for a studio monitor that could handle some serious multi-tasking. Say hello to the Mackie HR626 — a THX-approved, 2-way Active reference monitor that provides the same accuracy of Mackie's HR824. When placed vertically, the HR626 has the same great sound and similar frequency response as our legendary HR824, with a smaller footprint. Also, due to its symmetrical left-right sound field, the Mackie HR626 is perfect as a center channel monitor for surround sound mixing or for high-end home theater applications.

With extremely even dispersion for a wide "sweet spot" and user-adjustable controls for a variety of acoustic spaces, the HR626 is found in hundreds of professional studios and in the home studios of top recording artists (see list at left).

D'APPOLITO DESIGN?
Some years ago, renowned audio engineer Joe D'Appolito started placing a single woofer on each side of the HF transducer, and using a third-order (or higher) crossover in his designs. The end result — proper phase control of the loudspeaker and the low frequency response was extended. We decided to use Joe's design principles for one simple reason—they work! That's why the Mackie HR626 has a 6.7" woofer on each end of the cabinet with a waveguide-loaded dome tweeter stuck right the center. The HR626 is the first Mackie Active studio monitor to incorporate D’Appolito design.

MACKIE ACTIVE DESIGN
The 100- and 40-watt FR (Fast Recovery) Series amplifiers inside the HR626 are clean, ultra-reliable — and most importantly, were specifically designed for these drivers. Our amps can drive these custom-tailored transducers to their limits without pushing them over the edge. Add to this our phase- and time-correction crossover and you’ve got one excellent sounding Active monitor. Frequency response is verifiably "ruler-flat" from 42Hz to 20kHz, with a 3dB down point at 40Hz. The Mackie HR626 is ideal for those who need lots of bottom-end and high-resolution midrange for mixing and vocal placement. Read more.

THUMPIN' BASS
Ask any bass player and they will tell you that smaller speakers respond to transient attacks much more quickly than their huge counterparts. (As long as they are designed to handle bass frequencies, that is.) That having been said, instead of using a single large woofer in the HR626, we chose to use two of our powerhouse 6.7" transducers (the same ones used in the HR624). Not only does this help the HR626 meet the D'Appolito design concept, dual LF drivers also move a larger column of air. Add to this our mass-loaded, rear-firing passive radiator and you've got extended low-end that just won't quit.

HR824:

Released in 1996, the Mackie HR824 High Resolution Studio Monitor redefined what the marketplace looks for in a studio reference monitor. One of the most loved and trusted near-field monitors of all time, the HR824 is found in countless professional studios—thanks to its clarity, broad stereo imaging, ruler-flat response, and extended low-frequency range versus other studio monitors. With such astonishing sound quality, there is little wonder why the HR824 was approved for THX compliance on its initial trial.

Mackie Active technology makes the HR824 possible. Onboard FR (Fast Recovery) amplifiers provide 150 watts to the 8.75” German-engineered MF/LF driver (aka the “woofer”) and 100 watts to the waveguide-loaded HF driver (aka the “tweeter”). The result is a smooth, accurate transition from lows to highs, with an ample 100dB SPL@1 meter output. Frequency response is verifiably flat from 39Hz-20kHz, with a 3dB down point at 37Hz. With extremely even dispersion for a wide "sweet spot" and user-adjustable controls for a variety of acoustic spaces, the HR824 is not only the choice of hundreds of professional studios, they can also be found in the tour buses and home studios of many top recording artists (see list at left).

A TRUE ACTIVE DESIGN
Several years ago, many manufacturers started using “Active” interchangeably with “Powered” in describing their studio monitors. But make no mistake; a true “Active” design means that a studio monitor contains separate onboard amplifiers for each driver, plus onboard Active crossovers (which eliminates the need for external processing and eliminates phase anomalies), and time-correction circuitry, so the highs and lows reach the listener at the same time. You can trust this internal amplification and processing to push HR824 speakers to the “max” without any danger of pushing them beyond their limits—as well as bring you the sound quality that our engineers intended in all instances. Read more.

WAVEGUIDE-LOADED TWEETER
Move off-axis with passive monitors (and most powered monitors, for that matter) and you will experience prominent midrange and high frequency dispersion problems. In contrast, the HR824's waveguide-loaded tweeter greatly improves both vertical and horizontal coverage, and allows us to match the high-frequency polar pattern to that of the bass transducer (the "woofer") for seamless midrange transition. Thanks to the computer-assisted design of the logarithmic waveguide the HR824's high-frequency imaging is stunningly accurate, delivering a much broader sweet spot than almost any other monitor on the market today.

EXTENDED LOW-FREQUENCY RESPONSE
The HR824's extended low frequency response is achieved, in part, by a mass-loaded 6"x9" honeycomb passive radiator that fires out the rear of the enclosure. This passive radiator works in concert with the high-precision, German-designed LF driver to deliver extended low-end response without resorting to a "ported cabinet" design. How does it work? Servo-feedback circuitry monitors the LF transducer's motional parameters and applies appropriate control and damping using the passive radiator. This constant correction produces tight, articulate bass without the tubbiness, distortion or overhang common among most small monitors.

HRS120:

If you're putting together a matched system, the HRS120 is designed to work in perfect harmony with our HR824, HR624 and HR626 Active Near Field Monitors. The THX-approved Mackie HRS120 is a 12" Active subwoofer ideal for applications where precise, low frequency reproduction, and flexible monitoring are a must. Designed for professional recording studios and film/video surround post-production facilities that require extremely accurate bass extension to 19Hz and below, the HRS120 is also an excellent choice for home theater surround sound installations.

BUILT-IN FR SERIES POWER AMPLIFIER
What better way to power the subwoofer than with one of our acclaimed FR Series "Fast Recovery" power amplifiers? Our FR design uses low negative feedback, yet allows the amplifier to maintain low distortion and stability, even when driven into clipping. We built a beefy 400-watt FR amplifier for the HRS120, capable of extracting the maximum "thumpage" from the premium-quality 12" LF driver, without driving it into meltdown. Which brings us to the speakers...

THE TRANSDUCERS
The HRS120 subwoofer features a bottom-firing 12" die-cast frame woofer and a 12" passive radiator in the front. The unique passive radiator design provides a smooth response down to 19Hz—an astounding accomplishment for a cabinet of this size! And since the radiator is adding to the output at the lowest frequencies, very little distortion is generated because the woofer stays well within its excursion limits.

VERSATILITY
The HRS120 subwoofer features a bottom-firing 12" premium, die-cast frame woofer and a 12" passive radiator mounted in the front. This unique design provides smooth response all the way down to 19Hz—an astounding accomplishment for a cabinet this size! Since the passive radiator's output is effectively coupled to the room's air mass, the woofer stays well within its excursion limits, producing distortion-free deep, rich bass.

VALUE OVER PASSIVE SYTEMS?
Passive loudspeakers require external power amps, crossovers, and equalizers, costing you extra money—and unless you're an electronics engineer, you just might be over- or under-powering your system, which could lead to expensive repairs! Since all necessary processing and amplification is included within its enclosure, the HRS120 stands out as an exceptional value. You can rest assured that all components are perfectly matched for performance and reliability—and thanks to our advanced manufacturing techniques, Mackie HRS120s deliver "high-end" performance without the high-end price tag. Just bring your favorite CD* to a nearby dealer and compare them side-by-side with the competition. You'll hear the difference right away.
